So far I have no success with Zune. I was able to trick zune to update my L900, but not Focus S. Focus S is SIM unlocked if that matters. I would prefer to wait for a Zune install, but would resort to cab if there is no official update coming for Focus S.

You need to do it 3 times. Select all the languages except Indonesian and Malaysian each time. Each time after you phone restarts, the computer program may crash, but just close it and reopen it and do it all again.

Isn't that just the same as the CAB update? I personally want the official, however I have an unlocked phone and haven't gotten the update either.

I completely understand, and chances are it will, but I got kinda frustrated not only waiting, but not hearing anything from Samsung. But yea, this is exactly the cab method without all the technical steps.

Q3:Please enter your phone question below:
A3:My wife, myself, and several of my friends have Windows Phones
devices. We are curious to what information we can get concerning the
WP 7.8 update pending for our devices. I have the Samsung Focus S, my
wife has the HTC Titan 2, and my friends have Samsung Focus 2 and the
Focus Flash. Any information on when we can see this update? The Nokia
900 is already recieving it, and we are curious.

Thank you for your time.

And here is AT&T's not so encouraging response:

Unfortunately at this time we do not have a date for the Windows 7.8
update for the devices you mentioned. For more information on Windows
updates you can visit Windows support website atSupport - Microsoft Windows Help.

I apologize for any trouble this may have caused. If there is anything
else we can assist you with please feel free to contact us again. Thank
you for being an AT&T customer.

Sincerely,

I did go to Microsoft, but their Web site is among the least user friendly you will EVER try to surf. As far as I can tell, there are only generic "coming features", and I have had no luck finding a place to email a rep. I will continue to look though. I am not way worried yet, as there is a promise from Samsung to update all their WP 7.5 devices to 7.8:

Thanks snowmutt - that response was just the prodding I needed to run the seven-eighter cab utility. I read that ATT "unfortunately..." as saying "we'll get you that update when we run out of other things to do."

Add my Focus S as another seven-eighter (cab utility) success story.

Now I can move on from the WP7 update silliness and enjoy my favorite orphan OS.

I tried the tool except the tool doesn't have the option to select Indonesian or Malaysian. It updated me to 7.8 but now I can't open a single one of my non-Microsoft apps. They all crash on launch. It's really bad. I am not sure where to go from here. Anyone have any ideas?

you don't want to select those two languages. Additionally, try a soft reset

I know I don't want them, I just found it odd that they don't show up. I restored my phone from backup to 7.5 and I'm ready to try again. Under my keyboard settings I have 37 languages. Is this normal for a locked at&t focus s? Maybe I am unable to force the update bc the hack doesn't have all the languages my phone requires?

yeah, that's weird because I was sure that locked ATT focus S should only have 22 languages... I dunno if any win phone 7 has that many.

Updated on Sat via sevenupdater. Like some other mentions, I had a boatload of languages in keyboard and I also believe that neither Indonesia or Malaysian were there. Now I just need to fix the Market Place crashing with Error 80070057

Worked for me on AT&T (USA) Focus S (Samsung SGH-i937) - I selected all of the available language packs. App ran, rebooted the phone a few times - which if you have a lock you will need to unlock the phone each time, and everything came back up after about 45 minutes. Excellent!

These are the 37 languages installed on my locked AT&T Focus S:Samsung Focus S Languages - Imgur
The seveneighter tool doesn’t have nearly this many languages. Any ideas on how I can update to 7.8?
